Choosing A Trip

Rivers and rapids are rated on an international scale which ranges from the easiest Class 1 to the near impossible Class 6. As the numbers get higher the difficulty and excitement of the rafting trip increases. Our goal is to provide our guests with the most enjoyable raft experience possible.

Rivers Class Description
